Hi, I have noticed that some frameworks like Sencha use JavaScript to write HTML and be part of the mobile hybrid (HTML, JavaScript and CSS) platform while others like KendoUI, JMobile use HTML tags that are translated by the linked JavaScript framework to achieve the same result. Which way would you go and why? This is not a question about individual frameworks or hybrid in general but about the methodology and reasons for choice.

Sorry to disappoint you but Hybrid Apps can access the base API of each device (currently Android, Apple, Blackberry and Windows ...plus some more I can't remember) through PhoneGap...see the specs http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.0.0/index.html. you can use the file system, camera, contacts just to name a few. You should check it out.
Interested to find out opinions on hybrid (CSS, HTML and javascript) mobile apps compared to discrete apps. The main deal with hybrid is 1 code base and 1 programmer while discrete you need a developer for each platform. I can see a need for discrete in games and graphics but surely business apps that collect information and display report/graphs/etc. do not need to be discrete (I'm not talking about building a spreadsheet app here) Also with PhoneGap all the device metrics are pretty well covered. 1. Who is using hybrid out there and why 2. Who is using discrete and why
I believe it is LinkedIn trying to get you to interact in some way...LinkedIn hope you will want to go further than just clicking accept and maybe look at a profile or something else...anyway there's a method in their madness, you just have to join their insanity to find out why.
Hi, came acoss this bit of code & don't fully understand it: Value <<= 1 as in if((Value <<= 1) <= 255)....... I know << is equivalent to XOR but does this mean: Value = Value << 1 if(Value <= 255)... or something else??? Also: value1 ^= value2.... is this equivalent to: value1 = value1 ^ value2 Some of these short cuts get me and do you think I can find out about <<=...try googling that. Any help appreciated
